Hello!? is a participatory art project. Together with young people, a language film was created to become a voice that makes an audible statement about climate change. HELLOs in various world languages – as a call and appeal to public awareness to finally take climate change seriously – provide the film’s acoustic material and culminate in a conversation where communication seems to have been lost.

The soundtrack is complemented visually by a ticker. The question is: Who cares? runs in different languages across a black screen like breaking news. The screen becomes a mirror. The images disappear, merging with the soundtrack into an event that invites reflection, ironically striking at the heart of society: Who takes responsibility?
